A Wolf Called Romeo

De: Nick Jans

Narrado por: Fleet Cooper

The unlikely true story of a six-year friendship between a wild, oddly gentle black wolf and the people and dogs of Juneau, Alaska

“Jans is an exceptional storyteller — no nature writer can top him in terms of sheer emotional force.”—The New York Times

No stranger to wildlife, Nick Jans had lived in Alaska for nearly thirty years. But when one evening at twilight a lone black wolf ambled into view not far from his doorstep, Nick would finally come to know this mystical species—up close as never before.

A Wolf Called Romeo is the remarkable story of a wolf who returned again and again to interact with the people and dogs of Juneau, living on the edges of their community, engaging in an improbable, awe-inspiring interspecies dance and bringing the wild into sharp focus. At first the people of Juneau were guarded, torn between shoot first, ask questions later instincts and curiosity. But as Romeo began to tag along with cross-country skiers on their daily jaunts, play fetch with local dogs, or simply lie near Nick and nap under the sun, they came to accept Romeo, and he them. For Nick it was about trying to understand Romeo, then it was about winning his trust, and ultimately it was about watching over him, for as long as he or anyone could.

Written with a deft hand and a searching heart, A Wolf Called Romeo is an unforgettable tale of a creature who defied nature and thus gave humans a chance to understand it a little more.

Fantastic Author, Narrator, & Story

I am in awe of this audiobook experience. The author’s prose is outstanding. I have no idea how the Wolf remains so captivating while staying elusive in character throughout the story. Immortal Romeo. This book is a must for life’s journey!

Why Romeo Matters

A great story that unfortunately one knows the ending will be tragic. I listened almost uninterrupted until I finished. Anyone who loves nature will enjoy. Post script Jeff Peacock died on May 11, 2015. A fitting end to this story. He was the Big Bad Wolf.
